UCLA football announces team awards

At the team's year-end banquet on Sunday night, just days after the Bruins' hearts were broken in Palo Alto, the UCLA football team took an evening to look back on what had been a successful season -- a night that included announcing the team's individual awards.

The Bruins' two MVP's were expected, as running back Johnathan Franklin was named offensive MVP and Anthony Barr, defensive MVP. Franklin, after becoming the school's all-time leading rusher and leader in yards from scrimmage, the senior running back finished the year as the NCAA's ninth-ranked rusher. And Barr, just months after changing from offense to his spot at linebacker on defense, became the nation's current leader in sacks with 13.5.
